The only thing that keeps me from spending the entire summer submerged in a pool is that the boombox is always never close enough to hear. Instead of enjoying the sounds of summer, everything always seems a little drowned out. Of course, those pruney fingers and toes always seem to cut prime pool time short.

OK, that’s actually two things. I can’t help you with the prune, but the Speedo Aquabeat can keep you rocking loud and clear, even when underwater.

This lightweight, waterproof MP3 player clips to your swimsuit or goggles and can be used safely down to 10 feet under. Holding up to 500 songs, the Aquabeat can no doubt do more laps than you can — boasting up to nine continuous hours of playtime on a charge. If it comes loose during a Marco Polo grudge match, there’s no need to call in the divers; the unit even floats.

Plug the Aquabeat into any computer for a quick charge or to load songs. The device supports MP3 and WMA music files, and is fully compatible with both iTunes and Windows Media Player.

Available in pink, green or black, the 1GB Speedo Aquabeat comes with matching waterproof headphones and is available for $99.99 (MSRP).
